- toosinbeymen, on 04/15/2008, -31/+272Senator Obama's he first candidate to mention this and it indicates that it's a priority to him as it should be to everyone. How can we preserve our democracy and checks and balances in government unless the bush/cheney administration is investigated? The democrats in congress can't do it because of republican filibusters and zero cooperation from the white house.
- senatebuddy, on 04/15/2008, -9/+145Spoilers: They won't prosecute.
- inactive, on 04/15/2008, -25/+130What democracy? When Dubya stated that the Constitution is 'just a piece of paper', revoked Posse Comitatus (which said that American troops could not be used on American soil against Americans).....but now they can; let New Orleans drown, invaded the wrong country (and is STILL planning to bomb Iran), can't catch bin Ladin but spent billions developing the infrastructure to spy on AMERICANS, approved torturing prisoners, and generally acts like a typical illiterate dictator with no regard for the law, he and his cohorts had BETTER end up in prison at the very least. He has done everything he accused Saddam of doing, except he hasn't used chemical weapons on the Amish yet. Give him a month.

- spyd3rweb, on 04/15/2008, -13/+63Why doesn't 'Senator' Obama immediately review potential Bush crimes?
- theaceoffire, on 04/15/2008, -8/+52I know, if I spam their threads, they will stop spaming!
*sigh* - michaelb1, on 04/15/2008, -3/+40You know what, I don't even care if he is rich for life. Whatever, lets just get him out of office soon and stop him from doing anymore damage before he leaves.
Also, he may be rich later but his name will be worth $.00 in the history books. His presidential library will set low attendance records forever. His phone will never ring with questions from future presidents. Many of his staff will be in prison or broke from legal fees. A lot of the people that he unjustly imprisoned and ***** over will be cursing his name to their grandchildren. When traveleing abroad you will have to make excuses for him and apologize for having once had him as a President. America will in effect, disown him. - mali1, on 04/15/2008, -5/+40Would digg again.
- Kegher, on 04/15/2008, -7/+39doesn't it just reflect the political preference of the diggnation? what do you want to do about it? disregard the votes of the majority here?
it's not like you're not allowed to submit pro hillary articles, we can't help it she's a crazy lying bitch and noone here likes her.. - MacEnvy, on 04/15/2008, -5/+35Upholding the law and the Constitution is not picking sides. It's incredibly sad that so many on the right have forgotten this during their brief stint of absolute Executive power.
- pintomp3, on 04/15/2008, -9/+38"You are catering to your rabid "I HATE BUSH" fans" you mean 70% of americans?
- davman99, on 04/15/2008, -4/+31Kindergarten teacher to "immediatly" review tinko's spelling.
- bshock, on 04/15/2008, -21/+47Dammit, people, Mr. Obama deserves to be president for that promise alone.
- inactive, on 04/15/2008, -20/+45I doubt it will happen. Just the phrase he used:
"...but he also tread carefully on the issue, in line with his reputation for seeking to bridge the partisan divide."
This indicates he would have more trouble than it is worth. Besides this is something that should have been done way before or even now. Yet no one is standing up. Even the world court could bring War Crimes on Bush/Cheney. Nothing happens. - Ebonsteel, on 04/15/2008, -4/+29Both Gravel and Kucinich, Turambar - and as much as I would have rather seen either of those gentlemen become President, it is time to rally behind the only person with a chance of winning the White House in November who WILL look into the crimes of the Bush Administration. Obama.
- Turambar, on 04/15/2008, -8/+29IIRC, trying bush and the admin for war crimes was an integral component of Gravel's platform.
Obama is far from the first to mention this. - michaelb1, on 04/15/2008, -2/+23nobody even read your comment. Like me they all stopped reading at Osama Obama.
- GhostyBoy, on 04/15/2008, -1/+21Not in the long run there isn't. If Bush is let off the hook that will set one of the most dangerous precedents in American history.
It says to presidential candidates that once you get elected the throne is yours. You can do anything you want and never be impeached, and you will never be held accountable for anything you did. - MacEnvy, on 04/15/2008, -6/+25The word "boy" when used in certain contexts was considered a racial slur long before this thing you call the "PC movement", and it was considered a racial slur long before you or I were born.
Consider yourself lucky that you didn't grow up in a time or place when it was used in that way, and STFU. - notoneofus, on 04/15/2008, -4/+22I sure hope I'm not judged based on the parties I've attended. If so, I'm screwed. I don't even remember many of them.
- Konrad9, on 04/15/2008, -4/+21Bull *****.
I want to see it happen, but with all the promises related to this sort of thing having gone nowhere, I have trouble believing it. - jroyale, on 04/15/2008, -2/+19Yes, but Kucinich would make a better President than Bush. In fact, it's hard to think of someone who'd make a worse President.
- WeThePeople2012, on 04/15/2008, -2/+18I don't really like Obama either, but that was pretty racist. There's no need for that.
- GhostyBoy, on 04/15/2008, -4/+20Funny I didn't even notice.
- mechnoch, on 04/15/2008, -3/+19Because the Executive Branch is currently ignoring subpoenas. You can't 'investigate' anything if they don't turn over the relevant documents, or allow relevant witnesses to take the stand in a congressional hearing. It seems the only way to handle this is for the new president to review past presidential documents. This is why I don't care if Obama supports impeachment at this time. I think he can figure out a way to take care of things once he becomes president.
- TrojanGuy, on 04/15/2008, -1/+17Yeah, I've never seen Bush or McCain angry. But even if they are, it's okay because they'd just be angry WHITE men, right?
- RC212V, on 04/15/2008, -9/+24No, maybe instead of sitting on his ass for 4 or 5 days he should have done something about that natural disaster. How is it that our president can be so clueless and in the dark that he didn't realize for almost a week that there were thousands of people stranded in a major city without food or water? That is incompetence at its worst. There is no excuse for his lack of action in that situation.
- qwerter, on 04/15/2008, -1/+16It doesn't matter what race you are. Racism is racism, regardless of the source.
- Dantehman17, on 04/15/2008, -2/+17Posting a reply with a link to your own blog doesn't really support your case here.
- metapop, on 04/15/2008, -32/+47this may earn my vote, as long as opening up the 9/11 investigation is considered "potential bush crimes".
- inactive, on 04/15/2008, -5/+19Good point. None of those quotes are from Obama.
- darny, on 04/15/2008, -3/+17I'm tired of people (democrats) saying that prosecuting Bush would be a waste of time and resources. Not prosecuting Bush would be like giving the devil a free ride to heaven. F-that. Not only does he need to be stripped of his war profits, he needs to be made an example of. The American people and the citizens of the world need their voices back. We need to have the confidence in knowing that horrible crimes will not go unpunished, regardless of who commits them. We need to be able to elect leaders without the threat of having them abuse their powers. Not prosecuting Bush would be leaving the door wide open for history to repeat itself.
- robthom, on 04/15/2008, -4/+18I didn't read the link, but the point is valid.
But you have to understand something see, Diggers are progressive and alternative so going against the crowd will only get you buried. - RC212V, on 04/15/2008, -3/+17Oh really? So if your house catches on fire you don't need the fire department to come put the fire out? If there's an earthquake that destroys all of the major highways in a city you are going to use your helicopter to evacuate your family? When there's rioting in the streets you are going to bring it to an end by yourself with your trusty shotgun and your 2 month's supply of provisions? If a chemical truck spills toxic material in your neighborhood you've got hazmat suits for you and your family?
Sorry but there are some major calamities that we PAY the government to assist in. Hurricane Katrina was one of them. I don't believe in the government saving people from minor situations but in a major disaster they have a mandate to help. In Hurricane Katrina they failed in that mandate. - phybere, on 04/15/2008, -3/+17What, because justice is over rated? Because some people really are above the law?
- Hetman, on 04/15/2008, -8/+21Great idea. After doing that he better repel the patriot act also. Or he will be violating the fourth amendment just as Bush did.
- fyrehart, on 04/15/2008, -6/+18I may be missing something here, but in order to be pardoned don't they have to be convicted of something first? And the conviction won't happen until he's out of office, meaning he looses the ability to pardon?
Also, what does this have to do with a pool of tears? - exscind, on 04/15/2008, -8/+20Bush was loaded before he became President, moron.
- Arcesius, on 04/15/2008, -10/+22Yeah, holy ***** I love the sound of that.
- jeremyduffy, on 04/15/2008, -19/+31If he were to make sure Bush didn't get away scott free for all the damage he's done, that would be the major tipping point for me as a voter. This guy has balls to state this outright though.
- RudeTurnip, on 04/15/2008, -3/+15I thought we don't take ***** from countries that harbor terrorists...Afghanistan Part II!
- Acewrap, on 04/15/2008, -9/+21So would the rest of us. We're tired of these ***** Bush criminals.
- thanakar, on 04/15/2008, -5/+16The articles title is totally misleading. Obama was asked if he would seek to prosecute officials of a former Bush administration, not President Bush himself. Had hope there for a second until I actually read the article.
- Jlaugh, on 04/15/2008, -2/+13When I see data showing that 90% of the population is anti-Obama I'll dig that up, until then stfu. Look at the opinion polls on the MSM that say that 80+% of Americans think were on the wrong track.
- MoofTheStoof, on 04/15/2008, -4/+15The failure of the levees did far more damage than the actual storm. Something definitely could have been done by the corps of engineers about the levees. NOLA administrators had been begging the feds for years to have them upgraded or at least better maintained. Instead we had thousands of people drowning when they (as predicted) failed. And the administration found no reason to rush to the aid of the dying and displaced. It's only their job, after all...
- MacEnvy, on 04/15/2008, -5/+16Because the House, not the Senate, initiates such investigations. Plus he's a little busy trying to do something more important for the long term benefit of this country.
- darny, on 04/15/2008, -2/+13An ounce of prevention...
OUR LEADERS RAPING US IS A PRESSING ISSUE!!! IT'S THE MOST PRESSING ISSUE TO DATE!!! WHY ARE WE ALL ***** RIGHT NOW?!? BECAUSE OUR LEADERS HAVE BEEN PERPETUATING A CULTURE OF RAPING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR CHRISSAKES!!!
The cycle MUST be broken or we'll be broken. - Dantehman17, on 04/15/2008, -13/+23To those complaining about Obama spam, please remember they only make it to the front page because people digg the stories. Not because Obama is somewhere in the title.
